Data Makers Fest is not your typical data conference, it’s a festival for people who build with data. A space where data, machine learning, and AI makers come together to learn, build, and share the latest topics shaping our field.

In 2026, the third edition of the festival will bring together 1,000+ data makers for one day of tutorials and two days of talks, and connections. Our community is made up of experienced do’ers, over 80% of participants have 3+ years in data, and more than half bring 5+ years of real-world experience.

We’re searching for makers who want to take the stage and share their knowledge and experience: Whether you’ve cracked a tough problem, built something impactful, or learned lessons worth sharing.

Join the lineup of past speakers from such organisations as Meta, EPFL, Intel, Hugging Face and many others.
